Quote by Federico Fellini

All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography.

All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autob

Summary

This quote suggests that all forms of art carry some reflection of the artist's personal experiences and emotions. The pearl, which is produced by the oyster, serves as a metaphor for the artistic creation. Just as the pearl is an intimate product of the oyster's life and surroundings, art is seen as a manifestation of the artist's own life and perspective. It implies that artists express themselves through their work, unconsciously revealing their autobiographies, leaving behind a piece of themselves embedded within their art.
